Delhi’s IGI airport recovers 48% of domestic flight operations

Since flight operations resumed in the country on May 25, after two months of complete lockdown, the Delhi airport has recovered 48% of its domestic flight operations during the pre-Covid times. The airport has recovered operations on 83% of the total domestic routes it operates flights to, said Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), that runs the airport.

After the two-month ban on flight operations was lifted, domestic flights were allowed on all sectors while international flights are operating only to select destinations within the air bubble arrangement under Vande Bharat Mission.

The airport operator said that until last month, the airport had commenced operations on 83.33% of its domestic routes. “Till February, IGIA operated flights to 71 domestic sectors across country. As on September 23, flights to 60 of these routes have already been commenced,” it said.
